Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A:When you schedule the first appointment, one of our designers will meet you at your property to listen to your landscaping ideas, material preferences, and color choices. As we walk the property, we will discuss your landscape design vision and explore various concepts, such as patio ideas, landscape lighting, flagstone walks, landscaping rocks, trees, and shrubs, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, firepits or water features. Then together we will determine the next course of action.

A:No. We design our landscape projects for our customers with the belief that they will recognize our creativity, skills, and fair pricing. However, if you are requesting for a “Design Only” then there may be a charge involved.

A:The amount of time necessary to complete a landscape project depends upon the scope of the project. Timelines will be provided once the size of the project has been determined.

A:Typically, not. The availability of your outdoor water faucet and/or outdoor electrical outlets is usually necessary, but there’s no need for you to stay home (unless you want to watch us work).

A:Yes, very much so. Some research has shown by as much as 20%, depending upon the installation. Popular items such as outdoor living spaces significantly add value.

A:It is said that spring and fall are the best times of year for the installation of plant material. Hardscapes (i.e., retaining walls, water features, etc.) can be installed and designs can be created anytime of the year. No matter what season, we would love to hear from you!

A:Late fall is the ideal time to plant trees and shrubs because even evergreens are dormant during this time of year. Along with cooler temperatures, transplanting dormant trees and shrubs is the key to minimizing plant stress and increasing their survival rate. Another important thing to remember when planting B&B material in the fall is the plant should not have been field dug until the first frost. Beware of “great deals” on large B&B trees if you cannot verify when they were dug. Container shrubs and trees will transplant well nearly anytime of the year if watered and cared for. Be careful, however, during dry hot summer months, as this is the most stressful time of year for nearly all plant material.

A:Yes! We love working with business and property owners in keeping their landscapes maintained, cleaned, and have a sharp professional appearance. This is critical for your business image – not only to your employees but your customers! Please give us a call for a free on-site business estimate.

A:Yes. Trees and shrubs only require fertilization two times a year. It is essential to provide your trees and shrubs with this annual fertilizer to “refuel” the plant material after a long year of growing and fighting environmental hardships.

A:Reliability is one of our trademarks. While we may not be perfect, that is our goal. We strive to build long term relationships based on reliability, quality, creative problem solving and value. We can provide references upon request.
